City of Leicester They have been handed a bit of a fitness boost as left-back Victor Kristiansen has been recalled early from international duty.
The Denmark international played in his country’s last game but received a booking which leaves him suspended for their next game, meaning the manager felt able to send him home.
Kristiansen should return a little earlier than expected for Leicester, while he will also be rested a little more as he misses a game.
This is a positive update for Leicester manager Steve Cooper as he prepares for his side to face Southampton when the Premier League returns this weekend.
Victor Kristiansen boosts Leicester City ahead of Southampton clash
Kristiansen has been a key player for Leicester so far this season, and the club will need him in top form and at his best if they are to have any chance of staying up.
LCFC won promotion to the Championship last season and were immediately hit by losing their manager Enzo Maresca leaves to take over at Chelsea.
It will now surely be a challenge for Cooper to keep Leicester going, but he will look for experienced and proven players like Kristiansen to be a key part of that challenge.
